Էջ 232 - Seafons return, but not to me returns Day, or the fweet approach of ev'n or morn^ Or fight of vernal bloom, or fummer's rofe, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine ; But cloud inftead, and ever-during dark 45 Surrounds me, from the chearful ways of men Cut off...
Էջ iv - ... hundred times less than a mite, or to compare in his thoughts a length of a thousand diameters of the earth with that of a million; and he will quickly find that he has no different measures in his mind adjusted to such extraordinary degrees of grandeur or minuteness.
